The Polarity setting programs the specific palette of colors to represent the temperature in the image. Within the camera, these temperatures are mapped to a range of 0 to 127 values. In a black and white display mode, this range is converted to shades of grey with, for example, 0 being totally black and 127 being totally white.
- Page 35 2.2.3.2.2 Flat Field Correction Flat-field correction (FFC) is a technique used to improve quality in digital imaging. During FFC, a shutter briefly blocks the detector array, presenting a uniform temperature (a flat field) to every detector element. The video image is frozen during the process, which takes less than a half second, and resumes automati- cally thereafter.
- Page 36 2.2.3.2.3 Automatic Gain Automatic Gain Control automatically op- timizes the image contrast and brightness based on a histogram-equalization algo- rithm. Values for the Plateau Value, ITT (Im- age Transfer Table) Mean, and Max Gain are user programmable. Plateau Value: The Plateau Value sets the limit for the number of pixels in each bin. When this number is small, the Automatic AGC will approach a linear algorithm that preserves a linear mapping between the 14-bit and 8-bit data.
- Page 37 2.2.3.2.4 Region of Interest (ROI): The ROI sets the area of the detector that the AGC will react to. The ROI can only be configured as a rectangular shape. It is cre- ated by clicking and dragging a box over the area that is most important.

Page 59: Appendix 1: Region Of Interest (Roi)
Appendix 1: Region of Interest (ROI) The ROI sets the area of the detector that the AGC will react to. Changing the ROI to ignore an unimportant area of the scene can often improve image quality in the more important area of the scene. Since the AGC algorithm looks for the number of pixels with a given value and distributes those pixels evenly, disregarding unimportant pixels may have a beneficial effect on the output. -
